It’s a pretty simple value… if you don’t know what someone needs, just ask. That is how we approach each design, working directly with the men and women of their trade; from miners and railroaders to ice road truckers… we strive to develop the footwear that they ask for.

Some may believe that glory and fame comes with securing your name to a patent, however that’s not why we do it. For over 115 years, we have focused on developing innovative footwear, not for gimmicks or recognition, but because we are passionate about developing innovative solutions that matter.

The 5" 2-buckle Tracktion Overshoe features the patented Tracktion retractable studded outsole and 100% waterproof, vulcanized black rubber for superior protection in snow and ice. Technology remains flexible in temperatures to -60 degrees Fahrenheit. Non-corrosive steel buckles adjust for a comfortable fit, and a deeper heel facilitates ladder work. The 3M reflective material provides visibility in low-light conditions. The 5" Tracktion Overshoe also provides protection from salt, oils, creosote and diesel fuels, making it popular in various industrial applications.

I used this overboot this winter in Alaska's North Slope Oilfields. Company policies state that workers have to use some type of traction device when walking on hard packed snow and ice. These overboots are the best there is.

Unlike strap on style studs and chains, these overboots feel like a normal pair of boots to walk in. The grip of the studs on ice is incredible. I never had a problem walking, even on glare ice on an ice road. The rubber lugs in the soles make walking on packed snow also just as surefooted. The rubber is soft enough to allow the studs to slide in enough on hard cement and steel floors to allow you to climb ladders or walk into buildings without worrying about tripping or slipping. They are also very easy to drive trucks or operate equipment while wearing.

The short height and only two buckles makes getting them off and on rather easy, although the short height allows you to take your boots off without removing the overboot.

Without having any insulating lining, these overboots provided enough extra insulation with only 400g Thinsulate boots to allow my being outside in -35F weather for well over an hour without my toes getting cold.

The only thing I can ding these boots on is that the rubber is so soft that some of the lugs and the studs attached to them tore away from the sole. I can attribute this probably to walking across grating, something I am sure they aren't intended to do. I suppose its a trade-off. If they build these with a harder rubber I am sure they wouldn't remain nearly as pliable in the cold. If they could find a way to build the soles a little more durable, yet still able to flex in the cold theses would be absolute perfection.

Just bought the 5" Tracktion Overshoe. Wow! Went for several walks in the snow/ice. Fantastic! Like walking on a wet sandy beach beside the Caribbean. Reminds me of Cuba and Dominican Rebublic. No size 13 though.
